Frequently Asked Questions

What does an IP lawyer do in Australia?

An IP lawyer advises businesses on protecting and managing their intellectual property under Australian law. This includes trade mark registration, design registration and protection of trade secrets. As intellectual property specialists, we help secure IP rights, manage risk and ensure proper protection that supports long-term commercial success.

How can IP lawyers help protect and commercialise IP assets?

IP lawyers work closely with businesses to turn ideas, technology and creative works into valuable commercial assets. Through clear commercial advice and structured IP commercialisation strategies, we help protect everything from software to new brands, music, circuit layout rights, and confidential information, while aligning IP decisions with business goals, growth plans, and future development.

When should a business speak to an IP lawyer?

Early advice is essential when launching new brands, developing products or entering new markets. Speaking to an IP lawyer during the registration process helps prevent unauthorised use, reduces the risk of IP disputes and ensures trademark protection and domain name strategies are in place before legal issues arise.

What types of IP disputes do IP lawyers handle?

IP lawyers assist with enforcement matters, including infringement, domain name disputes and misuse of confidential information. Where necessary, we manage legal proceedings and litigation to protect IP rights. These disputes often arise in sectors such as information technology and life sciences, where IP is central to business value.

Do IP lawyers assist beyond trademarks and patents?

Yes. IP lawyers advise across a broad range of intellectual property law rights, including copyright and moral rights, plant breeders’ rights and design registration. We support corporate clients through due diligence, licensing, and enforcement, ensuring all aspects of their IP portfolio are protected and aligned with their commercial, research, and development priorities.
